Technical Abstract

The present invention provides a mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module, including a mouse body and an inertia scroll wheel module, where the inertia scroll wheel module is mounted in the mouse body; the inertia scroll wheel module includes a support frame, a scroll wheel, and an encoding element; the support frame is fixed in the mouse body; the scroll wheel is pivotally connected to the support frame; the scroll wheel is an element made of a glass material; and the encoding element is connected to the scroll wheel. In this way, rotational inertia of the scroll wheel is increased.

1

1. A mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module, comprising: a mouse body; and an inertia scroll wheel module, mounted in the mouse body, and comprising: a support frame, fixed in the mouse body; a scroll wheel, placed in the support frame and pivotally connected to the support frame, wherein the scroll wheel is a non-metallic element; and an encoding element, located at one side of the inertia scroll wheel and connected to the scroll wheel, wherein the inertia scroll wheel module comprises a connection shaft; the support frame has a first support member and a second support member whose bottom portions are separately fixed at the mouse body; a placement space is formed between the first support member and the second support member; the scroll wheel is placed in the placement space; the connection shaft passes through and is connected to the scroll wheel; one end of the connection shaft is pivotally connected to the first support member, and the other end is pivotally connected to the second support member; and the scroll wheel is pivotally connected to the support frame by using the connection shaft, wherein the inertia scroll wheel module further has an antiskid outer ring member; the antiskid outer ring member is sleeved on an outer portion of the scroll wheel; and the antiskid outer ring member and the scroll wheel are concentrically configured, wherein the connection shaft has a first connection section and a second connection section protruding from the first connection section; the first connection section is pivotally connected to the first support member; the second connection section is pivotally connected to the second support member and is connected to the encoding element; and the encoding element is connected to the scroll wheel by using the second connection section, and wherein the inertia scroll wheel module further comprises a middle button sensing element; a crimping portion protrudes from one end that is of the first connection section and that is far away from the scroll wheel; and the crimping portion is capable of being crimped to the middle button sensing element.

2

2. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 1 , wherein the antiskid outer ring member is an element made of a transparent or semi-transparent material.

3

3. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 1 , wherein the encoding element and the middle button sensing element are separately electrically connected to the mouse body; the encoding element is an encoder; and the middle button sensing element is a button sensor.

4

4. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 1 , wherein the first connection section has a hollow channel; the first connection section and the second connection section are stepped; and the diameter of the first connection section is greater than the diameter of the second connection section.

5

5. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 4 , wherein central shafts of the first connection section, the second connection section, the scroll wheel, and the antiskid outer ring member are a same central shaft.

6

6. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 5 , wherein the first support member is located between the middle button sensing element and the scroll wheel; and the second support member is located between the scroll wheel and the encoding element.

7

7. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 1 , wherein the non-metallic element that forms the scroll wheel is an element made of a glass material.

8

8. The mouse with an inertia scroll wheel module according to claim 1 , wherein the non-metallic element that forms the scroll wheel is an element made of a ceramic material.
